What is a good number of alpacas to have?

This is the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I'm considering what a good number of alpacas is. Probably the first answer is going to be... more! They are somewhat addictive and a delight, so why not have more? There are a number of factors to consider, but they mostly revolve around space - how much physical space for grazing and for shelter, and metaphorically about how much space, or capacity, you have in your life. Listen in to help think through what is crucial for you and your alpacas. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.
